The Human Resources Division
administers the full service, centralized personnel program for the City, in
areas such as classification and compensation; employee and retiree benefits and
services; training and organizational development; recruitment, selection,
placement, and retention; and employee relations.

The City
recognizes two different categories of employees, each
with its own salary and benefit programs. All employees are
governed by the Human
Resource Guidelines. For more information, please click on

Full-Time Permanent Employees
- A
full-time permanent employee is one whose position is allocated in
the budget and who regularly works a minimum of forty (40) hours
per workweek on a continuing basis. Such employees are hired for
an indefinite and unspecified duration. They serve a one year
probationary period.

Hourly Employees - An hourly employee is hired on a
seasonal, temporary, or as needed basis and is limited to working
less than 1,000 hours in a fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). Hourly
employees do not have a probationary period, an anniversary date,
or regularly scheduled performance evaluations or merit reviews.
Hourly employees participate in Social Security and pay the
employee portion of that contribution. They are not eligible for
retirement, insurance or leave benefits, except as otherwise
required by law.
